LOL your room mate is a retard. 4k to replace new turbos? You can buy those turbos for a few hundred a piece and do it himself. I believe they are a K04, cheap and dime a freaking dozen.

Look at all the supercharged cars on this site running stock rear axles, differentials, clutches.

If you build it right then it's as reliable and dependable as the factory version and a boat load faster.

What he said!!! That is my car. I specificly built mine to not have a bunch of issues.

That just doesn't seem like fun to me. Some people don't want the feeling of driving around a ticking time bomb. Although, I'm a bit of a hypocrite, my car is modified.

I know many of those people that you mention. They are never satisfied and push the car and their components past the safe point. I have purposely built mine to avoid their mistakes as that would not be fun for me either. So far its run like a top.
